This manner of advertising Greenfield's big summer event was the idea of C. E. Kinder, and the committee took it up at once.

Little Colored Girl Has Two Extra Fingers—This Mark Has Passed Through Many Generations.

There is a peculiar yet distinctive birthmark, if it may be called that, in a colored family in this county, says the Rushville Republican, which has been asserting itself in many generations. It is in the form of twro extra fingers which one generation has passed on to another for years and years. The latest member of the family to inherit the peculiar mark is the twro-months-old daughter of Mrs. Arteniscia Thornton, living on the Martin Fletcher farm, six miles south of the city.

The child has two small, but well developed fingers in addition to the regular number of fingers which each individual lias. There is one finger on each little finger of the child's hand. It protrudes just below the first joint, and is fully developed with a nail and joints as any wrell regulated finger has.

JUDGING CONTEST EXCITES INTEREST

Young Men of the State May Compete in Event That Will Be Held in Indianapolis.

The live stock and grain judging contest which is scheduled to take place at the coliseum, State Fair grounds, Indianapolis, at 8 a. m., on Tuesday, September 5th, is exciting widespread interest throughout the state. Many young men are writing in to the Extension Department of Purdue' University, Lafayette, asking concerning the contest and making application for entry.

The contest, which is open to every one in the state between the ages of 16 and 19 years, offers the young men of the state who are contemplating entering the Purdue School of Agriculture,- an opportunity to earn scholarships amounting to $250 in cash. This amount will be divided among the first four winners of the contest as follows: First $100, second $75, third $50, fourth $25. These prizes are awarded by the State Board of Agriculture with the thought in mind of assisting worthy young men to a scientific agricultural training. There are a great many young men to whom winning this contest would mean the opening of a door otherwise closed, due to lack of funds necessary to a course of study at Purdue University School of Agriculture.

A REVIVAL MEETING

Christian Church Congregation Will Hold Meeting On the Lawn in Rear of Church.

The Christian church congregation at Wilkinson begun a revival Monday evening in charge of Elder Omer Hufford. The meetings will be held on the lawn in the rear of the church when the weather permits.

CHOLERA IS REPORTED

Disease Has Made Its Appearance Northeast of the City and Many Losses Result.

Hog cholera has made its appearance in Hancock county, several farmers northeast of the city reporting losses. The largest number of cases seem to be in the Curry's Chapel neighborhood, where there was considerable cholera last winter. Luther Frost, Arthur Wood, Lincoln Bradley and others are among the losers. It is seldom that cholera makes its appearance this early in the season and the people do not know how to account for it.

Wayne county farmers have been losing hogs for some time, however, the disease being epidemic in some localities.

Hay Fever and Summer Colds Must be relieved quickly and Foley's Honey and Tar Compound will do it. E. M. Stewart, 1034 Wolfram St., Chicago, writes: "I have been greatly troubled during the hot summer months with Hay Fever, and find that by using Foley's Honey and Tar Compound I get great relief." Many others who suffer similarly will be glad to benefit by Mr. Stewart's experience. M. C. Quigley.

Encouragement is something we naturally look for. A little praise, a word of hope or a cheerful smile —something for the hungry soul to grasp and the weary mind to rest upon, as we climb the toilsome mountain of life. How many poor hearts have sunken into despondency, when a little encouragement would hav© reassured them. The soldier looks for it on the field of battle it is the Cheering voice of his leader that urges him on and through the danger of death and crowns the day with victory.

SEE THAT ALL THE MEN GO TO THE VOTING PLACES—THEY SERVED LUNCH TO THE

VOTERS AT NOON.

DRYS WIN BY 193 VOTES

Over Saloon Element Who Were Boastful—Election Day Replete With Incidents Full Vote

Cast Early, Due to Influence of Women.

The local option election at Lebanon Monday resulted in that city voting dry with a good safe majority of 193 votes. The total vote cast was, dry 860 wTet 667, almost a full vote. Nearly. 1,100 of the 1,527 votes cast were cast during the early hours of the morning. This was due largely to the influence of the women of the city.

Many women accompanied their husbands to the polls and remained there to influence other voters to vote dry. The "drys" carried men from the sick rooms on stretchers to cast their votes.

Several arrests were made during the day on charges of illegal voting. In every instance the complainants were "drys," and. those placed under arrest were "wet" adherents.

The, election followed a vigorous campaign in which open air meetings have been held by the ministers of the city, assisted by many from neighboring places, notably from Gary, and by business men of surrounding communities. The announcement of the "dry" victory w*as followed by great rejoicing and public demonstration.

Reported That the Evangelist Will Come to Greenfield at Close of the Maxwell Meeting.

It is reported that Mrs. Woodsworth may hold a meeting in this city after the Maxwell meetings are closed. She conducted a meeting in Greenfield about twenty five years ago, and stirred up the religious people of the city about as thoroughly as they have even been stirred. The meetings at MaxwTell have created a great deal of enthusiasm and attracted some great crowTds.

Twenty Million Cigars Daily. There are twenty million cigars consumed daily in the United States alone, and the importance of the establishment in this country of plantations that can produce high grade Havana and Sumatra cigar wrappers can only be realized wrhen the immense sum .of the total of consumption of cigars is kept in mind. Looking at the matter from a practical standpoint is seems very singular that this country has depended so long upon the small districts of Sumatra and Cuba adapted to the production of this high grade tobacco leaf for its choicest brands of cigars but it has seemed in the year? past absolutely impossible to produce anything lo compare with if.

A "Sane Christmas" Idea. The new "sane Christmas" idea, of giving love only instead of visible and subslantial presents among friends, will no doubt meet with popular approval. The World's League for Sane Christmas has been organized and has started work on the idea by signing the following pledge: "I will, from this time forward, neither give nor accept Christmas presents outside my own immediate household, and I will do all I can by distributing literature and other propaganda work to discourage the senseless practice of indiscriminate Christmas giving, to the end that true human love and brotherhood may reign in the hearts of men instead of the maudlin insanity which now disgraces the day."

WILL BE BUILT

HANCOCK AND HENRY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN JOINT SESSION—THE VOTE

WAS A TIE.

TROY CAST DECIDING VOTE

Five Mile Road Through Shirley Will Be Constructed—Gravel and Macadam—Will Cost $19,000 —The Contract Will Be

Awarded July 81st.

The five mile road on the line between Hancock and Henry counties, and wiiich passes through Shirley, will be constructed. The Commissioners of the two counties met in joint session here today to accept or reject the reports of the engineer and viewers. The Hancock County Commissioners voted to accept the reports and the Henry County Commissioners voted to reject it. County Auditor Charles H. Troy was called upon to cast the deciding vote, and it was cast in favor of accepting the reports.

The contract for the building of the road will be awarded July 31st. and it will cost $19,000 or more. Four miles of the road are to be gravel and one mile macadam, or that part of the road passing through Shirley.

A majority of the people favored building a macadamized road all the way, it is said, in preference to gravel, even at a smaller cost.

PLENTY OF PROOF

From People You Know From Greenfield Citizens.

The greatest skeptic can hardly fail to be convinced by evidence Like this. It is impossible to produce better proof of merit than the testimony of residents of Greenfield, of people who can be seen at any time. Read the following case of it:

Mrs. Vyra Seward, 322 Spring St., Greenfield, Ind., says: "There is no doubt in my mind that Doan's Kidney Pills saved my life. In the winter of 1906 I used them when I had almost given up hope of ever being well. My supply was obtained at Quigley's Drug Store, and they cured me after all other remedies and doctor's prescriptions had failed. I have used Doan's Kidney Pills since then, and they have always had a beneficial effect."

For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Remember the name Doan's— and take no other. 7

THE PENNSYLVANIA LINES WINS TWO-CENT FARE CASE

The Pennsylvania Company, operating lines west of Pittsburg, and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Company are now free to charge a higher rate than tw7o cents a mile for passenger traffic. The Court of Common Pleas in Pittsburg has given the deathblow to the two-cent far law of 1907, This piece of legislation was originally declared unconstitutional with reference to the Pennsylvania Railroad, since it was in direct conflict with that company's charter. The Court of Common Pleas finds, in addition, that it "renders the plaintiff's lines so much less remunerative as to do injustice to the stockholders thereof."

No defense was eniered by the solicitor for Allegheny county, and no appeal will be taken from the decision.

The Rottman Block Sold. Dr. John H. Groff has purchased the brick business block located on North State street, known as the Rottman Block. The block was owned by a Chicago man, who chose to dispose of it, and make an investment closer to him. Mr. Groff owned a large residence in Indianapolis, located near the Murat theater, which he recently sold. Both deals were made by J. A. Furgason, of this city.

Mayor Fined Himself.

A case of conscience comes from Wabash* where the Mayor of the city, after assessing fines against two citizens for violations of the speed law, took a dose of his own medicine with the remark that he could not conscientiously inflict a penalty on others for an offense of which he was gui'ty without punc ishing himself. The example af^ forded by the Mayor will probably have a wholesome influence on the speed fiends of the community.

The members of the Methodist congregation of Wilkinson, headed by their pastor, Rev. Van Wye, are now in the midst of a campaign to raise funds with which to build a new church home, says the Shirley News. They are being given much encouragement and they believe they will be successful in raising the desired $3,000, the amount that they think will be required to build a suitable structure.

The congregation has a membership of fifty-two. They have always held their services in the Friends church there, but for some time they have been wanting a church home of their own.

NEED OF GOOD TRAINING WOMEN ARE EXTRAVAGANT.

According To a Wisconsin University Report Just Issued—Could the Men Do Any Better?

That over $10,000,000,000 is spent in the United States annually for food, shelter and clothing, and that ninety per cent, of this is spent by women who have no adequate knowledge of money values, is stated in the new bulletin of the Course in Home Economics at the University of Wisconsin, just issued.

In any other phase of life, it is pointed out, the person intrusted with such expenditures would be required to pass through a rigid system of training.

The state is taxed, the bulletin continues, to provide instruction in the principles governing the production of raw materials. Women should be trained to use this material so that there will be the least possible waste of time or money, and the best results obtained.

MURAT THEATRE,

"Naughty Rebecca," A Three Act Farce From the French By Monsieur Henrique.

Following "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" the stock company at the Murat theater will offer another 3act farce as the attraction for the week of July 24th, "Naughty Rebecca," a play that is entirely new to Indianapolis theater goers, ar.d a comedy that promises to be one of the funniest ever offered in I his city.

The story concerns one Rebecca, apparently a prim young maid, who is employed in the home of the family of Wagstaffs. Although she seems demure, she has a w-eakriess for practical joking wiiich causes much trouble in this family. At the time the story opens the Wagstaffs are entertaining some relatives and friends, including a Mr. and Mrs. Greythope and their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Joskin Tubbs. Mr. Tubbs is a busy cotton merchant in a smaller town, who visits them semi-occasionally for the purpose of buying goods and incidentally to make "a night of i(j® while in the city.

The ladies left to themselves, fall to discussing the faithfulness of their better halves, with, the result that one of them, Sophie, declares hat all men arc inconstant and wagers that she can prove it. As a proof they send their husbands letters purporting to be written by other girls, asking their husbands to meet them at a mask ball. The men accept the invitation' and the wives also attend, supposedly to see if-their husbands keep their appointment. Rebecca, to help things along, sends a like invitation to Joskin Tubbs and his nephew, Henry. She also attends and the mixup that she brings about by informing certain masked dancers of the identity of certain other masked dancers is most confusing as well as amazing.

Never suspect a friend of doing you wrong until the proof of it is as plain and as clear as the sun at noon on a cloudless day, and then— yes, even then, do not acfeuse nor censure until you have heard from his own lips his version of the supposed wrong. If you were ever a friend to him he is certainly entitled to that much forbearance and consideration. If this rule was practiced, many a misunderstanding would be averted, and many a heartache spared.
